With the Blue and White looking to secure a berth in the MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time, a passionate derby atmosphere is expected at BC Place this weekend for this third and final regular season meeting between these long-time Pacific Northwest foes. The match will also be the latest installment in this year’s Cascadia Cup, with Seattle and Vancouver chasing leaders Portland Timbers in the fan-based competition.

“We are looking forward to what will be a memorable day at BC Place and the latest edition in our long rivalry with Seattle,” said Whitecaps FC president Bob Lenarduzzi. “Saturday’s match is very important to our aspirations of securing a spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs and the club is excited to play in front of a very passionate and energized crowd on Saturday evening.”

Whitecaps FC fans that are unable to attend Saturday’s derby match will not have to wait long to see the Blue and White live, as they return to action this Wednesday night, October 3, when they host Western Conference rivals Chivas USA.
